Mobilink associates with Uber
to offer a host of services to ease the ride-hailing app’s Pakistani clients.
“Our association with Uber cabinets our leadership
in the provision of state of the art communication services to customers
throughout the country,” Azfar Manzoor, VP Business Services, Mobilink, said.
“We are excited to join hands with Uber in assisting them to provide to the transportation needs of our country through new innovative solutions,” Manzoor added.
Uber’s Head of Expansion, Loic Amado, said he was looking forward to working with Mobilink to bring about a change in Pakistani cities through their services. “We are excited to associate with the largest Telecommunication Company of Pakistan on multiple fronts and look forward to working with them. We are thankful to the Mobilink team for supporting our vision of bringing about a change in the cities of Pakistan through our services.”
“We hope to make the streets of Lahore a bit more safer by doing our part in increasing awareness of an often overlooked issue; sexual harassment,” stated Uber in the post. Similar training has been done by Uber before in Cairo, Egypt, where police recently tear-gassed taxi drivers protesting against its presence in the country.
The ride-hailing will focus on Lahore for now, but there are plans to unlock more cities in the near future. Karachi is an obvious target while Islamabad is also likely to be on the roadmap as a richer convention awaits.
